Interactive viewers
\n<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Use the Interactive Viewers from the Live Access Server to explore and download gridded or non-gridded data following selected criteria (region, year, platform, etc.). Making maps and property plots is straight forward and a good way to to get a quick overview of the data collection.<\/p>\n

Synthesis and gridded files
\n<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Global and regional synthesis files, as well as gridded files, are available as text files and netcdf, respectively, via the OCADS Metadata Page<\/a> at the National Centers for Environmental Information. Matlab code is available for reading these text files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
